We must honor the old ways, respect tradition, & re-up Halloween candy at least twice before the 31st
Every fucking year
Do I regret having bought Halloween candy that I love and then predictably consuming nearly all of it before Halloween even arrives? It’s complicated

I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that the old world is dying. And, my stars, the new world is struggling to be born. And now is the time when you meet such INNNNteresting monsters.

Lord yes, please
If you want to build a society around solidarity & non-zero-sum cooperation, you have to find a way to go around these folks, to deny them power, to develop social norms that marginalize them. You're not going to persuade or convert them.

NEW:

“I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.”

Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

Was a little flippant about this but First Baptist Church, an affirming church in Austin, is hosting pieces of the National AIDS quilt. I talked to the senior pastor, who told me he saw hosting the quilt as a small way to repent for the church's wrongdoing against queer people:

They're trying to convince everyone that building a Dyson Sphere around the solar system is more realistic than increasing the capital gains tax
building a Dyson sphere around the sun is an incomprehensible undertaking. building one around the solar system is simply impossible in even the wildest sci fi projections of the future

every statement Altman and his fellow tech oligarchs make is just as preposterous
The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

i just asked a friend if bmx was a brand of bike or a type, and he told me bmx didn’t refer to the equipment, but to the sport itself. all i can do now is reflect on half a lifetime of misunderstanding and ignorance.

voting for an evil guy that sucks ass but shaking my head and frowning the whole time so everyone knows i don't agree with it
Notable: Trump UN nominee Mike Waltz was on track to fail by a tie vote in committee, but Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen cast a decisive vote to rescue him. 12-10, he advances to the full Senate.

Fucking Hurricane Gerry, ripping right into the heart of my city 💀
Apartheid districts. The Plot to Enslave America
The first redistricting proposals for TX are in.

This is what cracking and packing looks like.

This is an intensive gerrymander.

See how the districts spiral in fingers into the cities.

Lizzie Fletcher's district TX7 becomes almost entirely rural.

I love that the first two rules of snack club are you do not talk about snack club
My 11-year-old daughter, unhappy with the snacks and the long lines at camp, decided to start her own business with a couple of her campmates. I found this document on my computer.

Just to level set on this:

What they have experienced are some of the worst things that a government could possibly do to people. There is absolutely nothing that happened here that should have happened. The people responsible for this should have it follow them the rest of their lives.
CONFIRMED: Neri Alvarado, the Venezuelan man imprisoned by the Trump admin without due process for 4 months in El Salvador because of bureaucratic errors stemming from his autism awareness tattoo honoring his brother, is FREE.

Watching E.T. for the first time since it was in theaters and in a just world M&Ms would have gone out of business for turning down the amazing product placement Reese’s Pieces got. They thought they were too good for E.T. to eat?? There punishment awaits in the kingdom of Hell

MySpace Tom, not unlike a similarly named Tolkien character with an indifference to the One Ring of Power, proved to be the one tech founder immune to the corrosive effects of big Silicon Valley money
Big Money turning to fascism not because they needed protection from socialism but because they were bored and poisoned their brains with social media is the story of this century I think

Listening to Texas officials talk about what they knew/didn't know/should have done/not done etc after the floods remembering that these were the same people telling us that they knew/didn't know/should have done/not done after the grid failure and Uvalde
